Press Reviews
"Annie Baker’s play is an absolute feast. Circle Mirror Transformation is the kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word."
— The New York Times
"Orchestrated with a subtlety and unfailing naturalness that make the play’s small revelations disarming and unexpected. The characterizations display a miniaturist attention to detail that goes down to the bone… Baker is never blind to their weaknesses and faults, yet regards them all with a warm, empathetic eye."
— Variety
"Smartly, sneakily, Baker gives us the rare theatercentric play that’s not self-obsessed."
— BackStage
